Sure. But I would just make sure I am not on a ship named Enterprise or near Enterprise. Like I would be on the opposite side of Federation space thousands of light years away from Enterprise. I'm not so sure of that - at least the Enterprise (almost) always survives. Ships not named Enterprise hav...

I imagined a Briori ship abducting somebody in a truck and then just deciding to dump the truck as they reached the planet. Odd that they wouldn't leave it on Earth, but maybe they planned to take it all the way home and then just got sick of the smell or something. Or even dumped it by accident. M...

Hell in Tapestry Picard was still a Lieutenant jg at the age of 64! One promotion in an entire 40+ year career, and nobody seemed to have a problem with it. That's nothing - as McAvoy said, Starfleet's career structure is more akin to the Napoleonic era. Take this guy for example - stayed a lieuten...

Though I always wondered how much better DS9 would have fared of there was a fleet there to provide support. Think about how I think 9 Federation ships (one of them a Galaxy class) was enough to give the Klingons pause (among other things as well). I believe that the dominion-Cardassian fleet was s...

Sounds interesting. I don't suppose you've still got it knocking around somewhere and would be willing to post it here?

Just stick him in a green jacket - then he becomes indestructible.

only a few fleets have implemented truly significant changes in battleships, mainly Italian and Japanese, with results that were ultimately mediocre. Everyone was doing it, to great effect - the Italians turned the Andrea Dorea s from next to useless to modern fast battleships, the Japanese turned ...

i would think it should be easier to update a galaxy than an excelsior, and we have seen what they did on the Lakota. Not necessarily. Think about the various rebuilds of pre/early-WW1 battleships in the 30s and 40s - depending on the precise class involved the refits massively improved their firep...

Have you got any plans to add a "like" button to the forum software? This deserves a few dozen.

Starfleet engineers are famous even to the Dominion to do great things from very little. I have little doubt that if they were allowed to use cloaking devices they could create their own in short time. Never mind "could" - they did , and did a better job than the Romulans (issues with the...

Beeb As a driver he wasn't quite at the absolute pinnacle in the way Fangio and Clark were, although he was certainly one of the second tier - the likes of Stewart, Prost, Senna and Hamilton. He was indisputably in the top tier, possibly alone, of the toughest characters any sport has ever seen, ph...

Bullshit. Voyager is not the best Trek. You got to get off the drugs.

Do you really think he's going to change after twelve years?

Spire down, roof down, windows gone, one of the towers threatened, although the main structure is apparently safe.

Jesus wept. Possibly literally.

Same with the clothing. You want gender-neutral clothing in your show? Then women must dress as men. To do otherwise is regarded as so ridiculous, so absurd, that even if it's a handful of appearances by background characters in one season of one show, fans are still bringing it up thirty years lat...
